The Clearlake police officer injured Sunday afternoon being pinned between two trucks during a routine traffic stop is expected to recover fully, according to the Clearlake Police Department.

He remains at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.

The officer, whose name was not released Monday, suffered fractured vertebrae and broken ribs when he was struck by a truck driven by 53-year-old Daniel York. During a 4:30 p.m. traffic stop, York allegedly put the 2007 Chevy Tahoe he was driving into reverse, pinning the officer between the Tahoe and a parked Ford F-250 truck.
